63266 & 63267 - Reported Together?

Question:

If the provider removed an epidural abscess from T4-T9 via one incision and then did a separate incision at L4-5, can I bill CPT 63266 and 63267?

Answer:

Thank you for asking KZA!

Remember, the laminectomy for non-neoplasm code set (6326x and 6327x) are regional codes, meaning they include any number of contiguous laminectomies.

The key in the scenario is that these laminectomies were performed via two separate incisions; additionally, they are non-contiguous (T4-T9 and L4/L5). Yes, both codes (63266 & 63267) may be reported as described by the scenario in this inquiry.
